This week was good.

Monday we had zone p-day. We went down to Garden and played dodge ball. The zone leaders showed up an hour late. They were the ones with the keys to the building. Then we drove back to Lamar. On the way back we stopped by the Beards. Then we went out a helped Jarred load one of his cars on a trailer. Then we talked to Dave Miller.

Tuesday we had district meeting. After district meeting we went over to the Smith’s house to lay sod. This was lots of fun. The Smiths are not members but they are good friends with the Loveless family. Mr. Smith is also a surgeon at the Hospital. We were able to get all the grass done.  Then we saw Paulina and then had dinner with Sister Hunt. Then we had Sports Night.

Wednesday we had time to plan and to get everything up-to-date. Then we showed Paulina the Restoration DVD. We ended up having to take the TV a part so we could retrieve the DVD. It worked after we put it back together.  Then we went to Holly. We were able to find the Holly Branch Building. It is a newer building they don't use but still keep and plan on reopening it. Then we had dinner with the Smiths out in Holly.

Thursday we helped Dave Miller at work. We went up to North Queens to plant trees and to fix the drip and work around the shop. We are volunteering with the state so we can attend the voluntary dinner in May. Then we had time to eat dinner and then go to the old senior center to hear the music. We were able to talk with many of the residents there.

Friday we were able to meet many new people. We talked to Brother Kisamore. Then we talked to Tyler and Jan and Emmitt. We were also able to then have dinner with the Ortiz family. Then we were able to cheek up on Pete after his mouth surgery.

Saturday we started off the day helping one of bishop’s new tenants move a washer and dryer to her new house. It ends up that they are living across the street from the Whites. Then we had lunch and then talked to Emmitt, Jan and Stanna. Then we went out to help Dave Miller and the family with the garden.

Sunday we had church then we stayed to help with Pack meeting. Then we had lunch and then tried many people before dinner with Zaricha Sanders. Then we were able to put Percila on date for baptism.

We have had lots of work and service this week. I am looking forward to Elder Holland coming to the mission on Saturday. This is going to be fun to travel to Wichita and back in a day. Thanks for every thing.

Love,

Elder Andrew Allen
